CRAFTY-EU is a spatially-explicit agent-based model of land use change in Europe. It is an application of the CRAFTY modelling framework (https://landchange.earth/CRAFTY).
The model operates at 10-min resolution and includes agricultural, forestry, urban and conservation land uses at a range of intensities. The model simulates the provision of a range of ecosystem services, and is linked to the global LandSyMM model (https://landsymm.earth) to account for global effects including trade of food commodities.

CRAFTY is a large-scale agent-based modelling (ABM) framework for the simulation of land use change. It is designed to allow efficient but powerful simulation of a wide range of land uses across large geographical extents, based on the decision-making of simulated land managers who generate a variety of ecosystem services. It is fully open-source and can be used without the need for any programming.
The basic framework is described in Murray-Rust et al. 2014, and the following variations and applications have also been produced:
